NAD+ Precursors
NAD, NMN, NR, NMNH, and NADH are essential molecules in energy production, cellular repair, and overall metabolic health.
Even though precursors to NAD can be found in fish, poultry, dairy products, and some fruit and veggies, the amounts aren’t enough to significantly impact NAD levels in the body.
This is why supplements with NAD, NMN, NR, NMNH, and NADH can be advantageous — helping to supply the body with a steady source to maintain the health of cells.
NAD's Role
NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is used for converting nutrients into cellular energy (ATP) and is involved in DNA repair, cellular signaling, and maintaining mitochondrial function.
NAD Precursors
NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) and NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) are precursors to NAD, meaning they help increase NAD levels in the body, which decline with age.
Reduced Forms
NMNH (Reduced Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) and NADH (the reduced form of NAD) are two sides of the same coin, used for processes related to mitochondrial function, supporting ATP production, and reducing oxidative stress.
